A Letter to Retail Leaders

— James Spitler, Founder & CEO, Aktoh Cyber

Retail operates at the intersection of high transaction volume, sensitive payment data, and complex supply chains — making it one of the most consistently targeted sectors for financially motivated cybercrime. From POS malware to web skimming to inventory system ransomware, the attack surface of a modern retailer spans physical stores, ecommerce platforms, loyalty programs, and third-party payment processors. Aktoh deploys autonomous AI defense that monitors the full retail attack surface — payment infrastructure, customer data systems, supply chain integrations, and loyalty platforms — without interfering with operations.

POS & Payment System Defense

In-Store Payment Security

Detect POS malware, RAM scraping, and payment terminal tampering before card data is compromised — protecting every transaction across every store location.

Web Skimming Prevention

Ecommerce Channel Security

Monitor checkout flows and payment integrations for Magecart-style JavaScript injection and web skimming — protecting online customers without disrupting conversion.

Customer Data Protection

Sleight Platform

Deception technology protecting customer databases, loyalty program data, and purchase history from the targeted attacks that follow high-value retail breaches.

Supply Chain & Vendor Security

Third-Party Risk Management

Monitor every payment processor, marketing platform, and supply chain integration for behavioral anomalies — retail attack surfaces extend far beyond the store.

Ransomware Prevention

Operational Continuity

Detect ransomware staging before deployment reaches inventory, order management, and store operations systems — preventing disruption that costs retailers millions per day.

PCI DSS Compliance

Payment Security Standards

Continuous monitoring aligned to PCI DSS v4.0 requirements — with documentation supporting QSA assessments and acquiring bank compliance requirements.
